Aaron Bixby asked Marko Kloos:

I was in the military a long, long time ago. Your ability to capture the feel of an actual military culture and make the technology believable is awesome. In your short bio it is mentioned that you were a soldier. What did you do in the military and how did you research for your books?

Marko Kloos I was an airborne recon scout and also the NBC (nuclear/biological/chemical) warfare defense NCO for my unit.

As for research--I read a lot of military and dystopian SF, but I didn't do any particular research for TERMS OF ENLISTMENT. I find that I have to do more and more of that as the series progresses and I have to expand my world building.
